I read a piece earlier today (not sure where) where Bret said he wasn't sure if he was going to coach today. Dallas Clark sent him a text saying... Mothers derive great joy from watching their sons do what they love to do. Bielema said he knew then that he would coach today.Passed away on Thursday. RIP Mrs Bielema.
That's actually pretty damn cool. It's never easy to lose your Mom.I read a piece earlier today (not sure where) where Bret said he wasn't sure if he was going to coach today.

You may recall that Clark lost his Mother in high school. She never got to see him play at Iowa or in the NFL.
Pretty heavy stuff.
Sometimes we give passing acknowledgement to the relationships these guys have...teammates....brothers...coaches...Hawk alums...etc. But it's real.That's actually pretty damn cool. It's never easy to lose your Mom.

Wow. Thanks for posting that.
It didn’t help that Illinois got screwed. Watching the replay this morning, there were multiple blown calls, and non calls that went Michigan’s way.Tough to watch his presser after the game. I felt for Illinois losing that game, let alone his personal loss.
Illini also got a critical call in their favor.It didn’t help that Illinois got screwed. Watching the replay this morning, there were multiple blown calls, and non calls that went Michigan’s way.
Yeah, Bret is overall a good man and you could tell how hard he took this. 😞 We might all get caught up in our rivalries, but it should unite us all how annoying it is to see Big Ten officials continually suck and specifically protect Michigan and OSU. Bret was rightfully upset in the postgame presser, and I’m glad he stood up for his team.Tough to watch his presser after the game. I felt for Illinois losing that game, let alone his personal loss.

To be fair, the games against OSU aren't as close as often so officiating rarely has had an impact on the outcome. When the games are close, OSU-Iowa is usually a top game in the conference so they get the best crews for that game.Iowa has been straight butt ****ed by the refs playing Michigan more times than I care to admit. Like, not even bothering to use lube. Dave witvoet anyone? **** that guy. Hasn’t been as bad against osu. At least they use lube for osu.
